US Immigration from Philippines

Hi All,

As I mentioned to my previous posts, I filed online last January 30, 2022 and the updated me that they received my documents and also the payment

The last time they stated in my online account that it estimated until time of decision is 7 months

Today when I opened my USCIS ACCOUNT it said Approximately 8 months until the decision made

Is anybody have similar problem like this? or might they found something not right or it just normal like this?

I have read some people file last September and in December they got approved, its very confusing tho.

Thank you all and I am reading all your replies.

anyone have experience in the last couple of years reporting their marriage to the san francisco consulate? how long did it take from sending in your documents to the PSA marriage certificate being available?

Hello

Does anybody here know how far the backlog is in Manila Embassy?

F2A petition june 2018 has been DQ'd since June of 2020. Now I will soon be taking my oath as a new citizen in this country.

I am having doubts whether to call NVC then to update my status or not. Afraid that my husbands papers might be pushed back at the end of the line and would take more years before he can come

Just weighing my options whether to do it or not. Thank you for those who will reply

hello,

after getting married in the USA via a utah zoom marriage and consummating the marriage in person, two questions:

1. do you have to file Report of Marriage with the Philippines consulate prior to filing the I-130, or is the fact the USA recognizes it enough?

2. to file the Report of Marriage with the Philippines consulate, what is all required? I already read their website, but it is confusing due to the following:

"If submitting the ROM by mail, item 20 in all four (4) duly-accomplished ROM forms must be notarized by a Notary Public."

- This is impossible if the Filipino is not in the country. How do you get around this for Utah Zoom marriage? She cannot sign it and have it notarized if she isn't here.

"Four (4) photocopies of valid passport of both husband and wife, together with any of the following:

For the Filipino National (proof of Philippine Citizenship) submit copies of Resident Alien Card/ Permanent Resident Card and/or Philippine Dual Citizenship (Birth Certificate/Report of Birth or Identification Certificate, Oath of Allegiance, and Order of Approval), copy of visa (if tourist, leisure or business purpose), job contract or working permit (if working abroad at the time of marriage)"

- Is her passport 100% required to file in this online marriage situation? She is still working on obtaining this, as she has never left the country or had a reason to get it prior to this (and the I-130) process. She does have a valid Postal ID card, but I assume this is not sufficient in this instance? Likewise, no visa exists yet of any kind, so not sure what to show for this.

I have also reached out to the consulate directly but have not heard back yet. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this process. I've also heard here and there that you need an apostille to certify the marriage certificate? is this still true?
